"It's him. Take him away." One of the men othered with a hoarse voice."What, no please... You've got the wrong guy. Don't kill me please!" He pleaded with the unknown men, but instead one of the men hit his head with the back of his gun and immediately Maxwell went black out."Hurry take him inside the car before someone sees us."The men put a black sack on Maxwell's face and put him in the boot of their car and zoomed off.After about an hour they arrived at a secret hideout. They brought Maxwell out of the car and into a Stony dark room, Maxwell was placed on a chair and his hands tied to the chair. They removed the sack from his face and drenched him with a bucket of water jolting him up."Who...who are you people?" He breathed heavily, he noticed his hands were tied up. "I don't know you, please let me go"The room was dark with only one small bulb as a source of illumination and it wasn't enough to make the kidnappers' faces visible."What do you want from me!" Marcus yelled."
ITALYIn a large hall, some group of men all dressed respectfully in different colors of suits. Amongst them was Richard."Like I said before Richard, it's time Marcus learnt the truth and fully joins the Blackwoods cult." One of the men said, all the men present were 50 and above."He's not ready, Pietro." Richard replied."Marcus is the new head of this association, it's high time he fully knows who he is and what he is meant to be. You don't possibly think you can hide that from him forever." Pietro said."I will inform him, but please I request for more time, Marcus is the last surviving bloodline of the Actual Blackwoods. He needs to be protected and kept away from harm." Richard said."And what about the Red Hood? I believe Marco has found out about his brother's return. And if we don't prepare Marcus for what is to come, death is inevitable and the Redhood will finally claim everything."***Long ago before Marcus was born, his grandfather was the first and founder of the Blackw
Richard was filled with concern about his master's son, Marcus.His meeting with the Blackwood's revealed that Marcus is surrounded by more enemies than he is willing to deal with.“I worry for you, Marcus,” Richard spoke softly, his eyes filled with an intense worry. “The number of enemies you have in this city is more than your father ever had.”Marcus smiled proudly. “You need not worry, Richard. The Blackwood son will not fail his father. I just need to hold up my head and move along like it doesn't matter. My greatest matter now is how to take back the Mandis school project from that crooked man, Magnus.”Richard nodded. “I couldn't agree more. I mean, how do you intend to handle this? Magnus is not an easy bone to crack, you know.”“Well, I have a meeting tomorrow with a lady lawyer who I hear is the best in town…”“Luciana?” Richard asked with wide eyes.“You know her?” Marcus was amused.“Everyone in town knows her. She is fierce and good at what she does.”“Then, that means
A simple call was all it took; the intoxicating power of the Blackwood heir.Jessica's eyes were filled with bewilderment as the Doctor who happened to be the Chief medical officer was escorted out of the hospital premises by the security.Camelia met him on the way as he was shoved shamefully into a black van tagged the same hospital he threatened to send her mother to if she did not pay him. Their eyes locked and his gaze was marked with both fury and shame. She gawked at him, wondering why he was gazing at her with such a feisty stare.She was utterly confused.She ran up the stairs in a flight, towards what used to be her mother's room but it was empty.As she ran out to the corridor, about to raise an alarm about her mother's disappearance, she and Jessica meet at the entrance.“Camelia!” Jessica called out to her, trying to calm her raging nerves. She could see the panic in her friend's eyes.“Where is my mother? Where was she moved to? Is she alright?” She bamboozled Jessica wi
The pungent stench of nothing in particular travelled through Camelia's nostrils and her eyes fell open speedily.She felt bang on her head and an “ouch” escaped her lips, followed by silent moans.Then she noticed that she could not be audible enough and her hands were tied to the chair. Her burrows got sweaty as her heart cut apart from the knowledge of where she was.“I have been kidnapped!” She yelled through her muffled lips and began to squeak and scream, kicking her legs, vehemently fighting to set herself free.Unfortunately, freedom was such a luxury that Camelia could not afford and it was too costly to attain.Her heart palpitated more than usual as she wriggled and twirled, trying to free herself from the piece of clothing that held her down.“Let me go!” She yelled out , “I want to go and see my mother.”Her defiance gradually wore out giving room to her panic and fear, as she became engrossed in scary thoughts about what would be the end of her.She wondered what her fat
The Blackwood's complex was still lit as Marcus' meeting with Luciana Pedro was still ongoing. It was the second time they were having a meeting regarding the Mandii school project.The only next person who was there at the meeting was Sam; his personal security guard.Luciana was seated across from his table as she flashed her teeth while they conversed indepthly.“The intricacies of this case is quite confusing and can take a bend that is unexpected,” Luciana suggested, twisting her lips.Marcus nodded. He understood exactly what she meant. The case was not a straightForward one. After their previous conversation, she was convinced that she had the way out till she went on to do some more underground findings and discovered that Magnus legally bought the school which was a fact unknown to Marcus.“You know what I think,” Marcus began to say, “I think we need to arrest him right away. He is trying to demolish the structure. I doubt that he has got any good intentions for that school
The violence persisted, ferociously upon her body. Each passing minute was yelling, kicking, punching or hitting against her body.Camelia let out shrieking screams till her lungs could no longer supply her the required air to let out screams and she simply moaned in pain.Yet, her defiance overrode her nagging desire for freedom from the terror she was forced to endure.The raunchy looking fellow who seemed like the leader of the gang that Derek invited to handle her, held up his hand to stop his fellow rogues.“Lady, are you ready to start talking now?” His hoarse voice queried Camelia with his hard gaze fixed on her swollen face.She could barely see as her left eye was swollen and the right one was bloodied.She shut her eyes and let the tears flow down freely, trying so hard to keep her shaky lips calm.The fellow jabbed her aggressively, growling at her to respond or he would resume his torture.“Do whatever you like!” Camelia groaned and burst into heartfelt tears. “I will neve
Jessica was walking out of the hospital to meet up with Marcus where he was waiting in the car for her and then her phone rang.She stops in her tracks to see the caller. Her heart raced with excitement as bestie appeared on the screen.“It is Camelia! Camelia is calling me!” She yelped with excitement and rushed to Marcus's Side of the car.Marcus got down from the car to hear the phone conversation. He did not seem quite convinced and thought a foul play was probably going on with her abductors.Jessica took the call and expectantly only to hear a male voice call her name:“Jessica…”Her heart sank. The voice was familiar. A few weeks ago, she had heard Camelia having a phone conversation with Mr. Derek and this was the same voice that she heard that day over that conversation.She felt a pang of fear knock against her chest and she became sweaty and uncomfortable.Yet, she had to ask for confirmation.“Who is this?” Her words were loose and shaky.“Jessica…Jessica. Today is World F
